The Leicester City Thread (merged)

I wouldn't describe it as "fun", but just as its been fascinating to watch their meteoric rise this season, it will be equally interesting to see how they go next season. Its helluva challenge for them. How will their early season form stand up to a CL campaign? How will they cope if there is a reversion to the mean as far as injuries go? How much will they spend on new players to sustain a CL campaign? What sort of wages will they be prepared to play new players and what will that mean for the contracts of existing players? Will they hold on to Kante, Vardy and Mahrez?

I think most people (myself included) find it hard to see them having another season like this one. But to say it'd be fun to see them getting relegated, the night after they won the league, strikes me as a sad thing to say. I could understand it if we had a long running dislike of them for historical reasons (as in certain other clubs), but we don't have an axe to grind with them, do we?

Genuinely made up for them. Fully deserved.

fully deserved, had us on toast at ours and we couldn't cope

I'd be happy for them if it wasn't for my hatred of Schmeichel Snr.. so looking at Jnr just makes me hate him too, I know - bitter is the word but I can't help it. Still, I'd rather them than Spurs - that really would have been too much to bear.

Well done Leicester, best team this season, wish we had shown half their work ethic this season.

It's a heavy crown to wear is being champions, we have laboured twice in recent seasons after we have won it. The rest of the league seeing you as a scalp and raising their game.

It's going to be fascinating to see what they will do squad wise, do they stick or twist with a champions league campaign on the horizon and do they look to cement their status amongst the top four.

An amazing achievement, and fair play to them! They've been brilliant.

I'm curious as to how some of our players felt when watching and seeing the reaction to the Leicester celebrations?
